  • Patent number: 4331128
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for running a climate-controlled building or rain greenhouse, and to such a climate-controlled building or rain-greenhouse with a gable shaped cross section, where an updraft of humid air is produced between two southwardly-directed oblique panels arranged at a distance from each other. The updraft is caused by the influence of insolation and delivery of water, and humidity is condensed out of the air-stream as it descends downwardly between two oblique rear panels arranged consecutively and at a distance from each other. The products of condensation are conducted to a device for supply to the inner space of the climate-controlled house, particularly in the form of rain in the case of a greenhouse.
